AI CLI Tools (ai-clis)

Installs AI coding assistant CLIs and agentic development tools: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, CodeRabbit, Beads (with Dolt), and Specify CLI.

Options

Option	Description	Type	Default
install	Comma-separated list of CLIs to install (e.g. "claudeCode,geminiCli"). When set, only the listed CLIs are installed. When empty, all CLIs are installed.	string	""
omit	Comma-separated list of CLIs to exclude (e.g. "codex,copilot"). When set, the listed CLIs are skipped. Applied after install filtering.	string	""

These tools can be large — use install or omit to skip any you don't need and speed up container builds.

Usage

Add this feature to your devcontainer.json:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/get2knowio/devcontainer-features/ai-clis:2": {}
  }
}

Install everything except a few

Use omit to exclude specific CLIs:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/get2knowio/devcontainer-features/ai-clis:2": {
      "omit": "codex,copilot"
    }
  }
}

Install only the CLIs you want

Use install to list exactly the CLIs you need — new CLIs added in future releases won't be installed unless you opt in:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/get2knowio/devcontainer-features/ai-clis:2": {
      "install": "claudeCode,geminiCli"
    }
  }
}

Requires: Node.js (installs after ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node)
